Prensky Chapter 1 and 2 Assignment

"Don't Bother Me Mom-I'm Learning!" by Marc Prensky has been quite an interesting book. But there are A several things that I believe are just crazy,confusing and interesting. Something that I encounter while reading these two chapters that I found crazy was how Marc Prensky discusses about how doctors who played video games before performing surgery did 40% better. So now at New York City's Beth Israel Hospital before doing surgeries doctors must warm up playing video games for half an hour. I don't understand how that works but apprently it does. The control's of Laparoscopic instruments resemble a videogame controller and the entire surgery is seen only on a computer monitor. Another bit of information that i stumbled upon while reading that I thought interesting was how business entrepreneurs that were in their 20's have found that playing video games has helped them greatly. Prensky then quotes "I remember my mom and day yelling at me (for playing too much)-they didnt know i had a 200-person (online) guild to manage." More on that, Prensky goes on to explain how game players get good at taking in information from many sources which I can see as being true because I can relate to from playing world of warcraft and managing things like guilds, partners for certain events and etc. Although most of the content made sense in one part of chapter 2 supposly a preschooler is familar with housing and what net worth is. This Confused me because even im not sure what net worth is and this pre schooler has learn this just from playing sims? I'll believe when i see it .
